REVIEW: Adapted from the novel this intelligent British monster movie begins with a meteor shower so intensely bright that it blinds the majority of the world’s population, rendering them vulnerable to attack from hordes of carnivorous plants known as “Triffidus Celestus” – grown from meteor-borne spores. As the plant-monsters continue to multiply and seek human prey, the remaining sighted people join forces to combat the veggie invaders. One such survivor, an American seaman (Howard Keel) whose eyes were bandaged during the the meteorite impact, battles his way through the Triffid ranks. Meanwhile, a couple (Kieron Moore and Janette Scott) trapped in a lighthouse are desperately seeking a way to stop the killer greenery.
